Its capacity was of around 400 patients. As there was an epidemic of Tuberculosis at that time hundreds of people were rushed into this hospital. But later in 1961 the Sanatorium was closed due to advancement in treatment of Tuberculosis. The drug streptomycin lowered the number of patients there was no need for such hospital anymore. However during the epidemic period over 8000 people died in the Sanatorium.
